I'm surprised no one has posted about this yet (maybe I'm missing it). But, as some of you may have heard, Mayer Hawthorne and Seattle producer Jake One, who is one of my favorite hip-hop producers in the game right now, teamed together to form a group called Tuxedo. They released a free EP, and it's FANTASTIC. Maybe my favorite Mayer project yet:

As an avid fonkster, I'm not too keen on this sound just yet. It sounds too closely aligned with this whole pop-funk movement of the moment. I need to give it a proper listen before I pass judgment though, just talking first impressionz.

I think on an ideological level i'm opposed to Mayer just jacking Nate Dogg's melody and not really bringing anything new to it. Like, I dig the song and it'd be fun in the club or whatever, but I just wish they'd fucked around with the tune more rather than just switching Dre's filthy G-funk beat with glossy 2010s production.

Still I guess it's a good song and like I said it'd for sure go off in a club. And I'm sure that after what you said in the Jay-Z thread you probably disagree with me haha
